Sherri Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Disclaimer: this is an actual trip report. Any references to hiking, either stated or implied, are purely incidental and as such, heretofore, will be referred to as "long approaches." I got my first taste of Index climbing on Friday, thanks to k.rose's ropegun services. The climbing was more daunting than stuff I'd previously done, but TOTALLY fun! "Princely Ambitions" and "Roger's Corner" went smoothly; I got a little pumped removing gear from the big flake on Godzilla and the guy racing up the route underneath me wasn't adding to my sense of wellbeing. "Breakfast of Champions" was an eyeopener; now I understand the term "thin hands" . After all the fun(and a little swearing on my part ) we continued westward to Leavenworth. On Saturday got in 10 pitches on Castle Rock. Loved getting to experience some of the classics there. Favorites were "Canary" and that freaky roof move on "The Bone", and my first Castle Rock lead on "Saber." It felt solid and I enjoyed the experience immensely, which is more than I can say for the girl ahead of me who was following her boyfriend(who went off-route and ran it out to the top, turning the climb into a bit of an epic for her. ) At Logger's Ledge, I got pegged as a cc.comer by someone who overheard my name being mentioned. "Hey, are you that 'Sherri' from Cascade Climbers...?" Small world. sickie Also got a taste of some offwidth on "Damnation." That is definitely an acquired taste. k.rose scooted up the thing like it was a walk in the park, though. Even stopping halfway up the chimney to have a pleasant conversation with the fella on the route next to him. We finished off the weekend with some fun in the Icicle at Alphabet Wall and Little Bridge Creek rock. I was shut down by the crux of "Meatgrinder" and by "Carnival Crack"(amazing to watch k do laps on that crazy thing! ) but sending "Arms Control" was the highlight of my day. We wrapped things up just as the first of the raindrops began to arrive on Sunday afternoon. It was a good weekend to be a climber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tvashtarkatena Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 My TR for this weekend: Using various land management websites, I identified the nearest, most recent forest burn (above Leavenworth), then transposed the information to a Google Earth aerial photo. Morel hunting time. Piled my wife and dogs into the Subaru. Off we went. Weaved our way up to the site; following the Google Earth printouts, car camped on a ridge top with beautiful views, wildflowers, cozy campfire, no morels. Promptly hit a rock on the way down, which seems to have caved in half my undercarriage. Damage estimates due by tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't Damnation sexy?? that is one of the best climbs i have ever wedged the majority of my body into. I didn't make it all the way to the top as i got totally spanked and was so worn out by the time i got to the Chimley i couldn't keep going. Beautiful route though I would totally like love to hit that again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EWolfe Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Nice, Sherri! Gettin' some wideness! Bouldered with Julie DeJ yesterday at Priests Draw, still recovering from schleppin' loads to the top of a fairly new climbing area on Friday - a narrow canyon with 300' wall on one side and a 400' wall on the other. In the shade all summer... Going back this week to set anchors! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Sexy" hadn't occured to me as I was desperately grinding my buttcheeks against the wall, praying to the gods of gravity for something resembling an actual hold, but I shall look at it with a new perspective next time. And thanks, MisterE! Sounds like you've been getting some good work in, too! Edited May 21, 2007 by Sherri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EWolfe Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 He's doing fine. Climbed with him yesterday, we're developing "The Doctor's Office" together. Here he is putting in some anchors for the first route in "The Pharmacy": Going back today! Shoot me a PM who you are and I'll say Hi to him for ya.

pink_chalk Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Daily putting in anchors?! Give him a swift kick in the ass for me Where is the "doctors office" located? or is it top secret? We talked just last week, which reminds me I need to call him about *business*. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
